THE WEDDING CAKE MURDER
THE BODY OF A WOMAN who insulted everyone she met on her short trip to Moonstone Lake is found floating in the lake. Is it a murder or an accident?
Arizona Summers and her psychic dog Nutmeg love to solve crimes. The new chief Keith Wesley makes it clear he doesn’t want her help. Once he realizes Arizona is the go-to person with whom the townspeople share their deepest and darkest secrets. The handsome new chief tries to get back in Arizona’s good graces but she doesn’t make it easy.
It’s hard for Ary to keep the restaurant she owns running smoothly when her mother, Emma causes chaos at every turn. Even her Aunt Sandy, who referees her sister and niece, shakes her head at Emma’s shenanigans.
THE HIGH STEAK'S MURDER
Liz ran as fast as she could to get to Ary's house. She was covered in blood; her ex-husbands blood.
Arizona Summers, also known as Ary, and Chief of Police Keith Wesley are out to find a killer. Arizona's dog Nutmeg is invaluable to the mystery and finds things others can't see.
Meanwhile, Ary is busy with Moonstone Cafe and Sunday Brunch. Ary's mom Emma has outdone herself this time ending up in jail, and Aunt Sandy meets a love interest.
BONFIRES, BARBEQUE ANF BODIES
Arizona Summers has three loves, running the family-owned restaurant at Moonstone Lake, helping Sheriff Keith Wesley solve crimes, and the new hobby of photography. The first of her pictures reveals a body in the woods. After closer inspection, the death is ruled murder by crossbow; just like many other bodies found over the years near Moonstone Lake. The only thing they have in common is they all hunted at Goliath Deer Reserve, and none of their possessions or their vehicles were ever seen again.
While Arizona and Sheriff Wesley try to unravel the latest crime, another mysterious gentleman enters her Aunt Sandy’s life with a questionable past. To add to her problems, her mother, Emma, disappears after taking a large amount of money from her savings account. An internet search reveals a dangerous gigolo who makes a habit of taking advantage of widows with a little money in the bank. When Arizona confronts him, she finds herself cornered and a victim of a knife attack, only to be rescued by the loveable mutt, Nutmeg, but with deadly consequences.
Come follow Arizona’s latest adventure as she sets out to make Moonstone Lake a safer place to live as she navigates living in a small town.
